Légende

Dominican convent, Atzcapotzalco, central Mexico founded in the 12th Century by the Aztecs. Hernán Cortés later set up smelters there to melt Mexican treasure into bullion. The Spaniards also destroyed the Aztec temple, and on its site there is a Dominican convent with a 17th-Century church and an 18th-Century rosary chapel.
